  What is Fluther trying to say, here?

  Some of you fell in with the spirit of the Q, some did not. No points for literal-mindedness. And yet, until i saw some of these answers, i didn’t feel smashing…. btw, @ThePeanutGallery , i don’t consider being patronized complimentary—but i guess that’s what you were trying to say, in a roundabout way.<grin>

  Should you stay in a relationship if you are great friends and very compatible with your mate and love them, but there is no physical chemistry?

  i was understanding “mate” to mean someone to whom you are bound by vows that the society that the two of you live in treats as sacred. If it just means “current significant other”, than my answer is “No, if the physical desire is something that, to you, is very important not to do without.” But then what does it mean to say that you “love” them—love them in the way that you would love a sibling, or a child, or a best friend? or love them in such a way that you consider the two of you to be, metaphorically, one flesh, one indissoluble unit? Here, only you can make the call.

  What is your opinion on using feminine instead of masculine pronouns in academic work?

  @Fyrius : another development that renders more probably logical the sentence “the student turned in their homework” is the rise of group projects, where one person, as representative, might turn in the result of the efforts of many.

  What's the best response to creepy late-night phone calls?

  i don’t agree with unplugging your phone. That amounts to passively circumscribing your life rather than actively dealing with the annoyance—doing the latter will be better for your self-esteem and will avoid a decline into “learned helplessness” (q.v.).
